Answers
Answer:
The price in dollar the customer will pay, excluding tax for shirt $(0.85x - 5).
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
Discount rate of the shirt = 15%
Original price of the shirt = $x
Additional discount on the sales price = $5
To find:
The price in dollar that customer will pay excluding tax for shirt.
Solution:
The current price the customer will pay
Note that: Original price of the shirt = 100% of x
The current price of the shirt = original price - given discounts
= 10 %x - 15%x - 5
= 85%x - 5
Convert the percentage to decimal by dividing it by 100
Current price of the shirt becomes 0.85x - 5
Thus, after the discount the customer will pay $(0.85x - 5)
$(0.85x - 5)
